Types of Emergency Transportation Services We Offer in Palo Alto

Every community has different needs when it comes to emergency transportation, which is why we’ve worked hard to diversify the services we offer. Here are some of the most popular emergency transportation services we can provide to Palo Alto and the surrounding areas:

Evacuation Shuttles: When wildfires, floods, or hazardous material spills threaten residential areas, we can deploy multiple buses to evacuate civilians quickly and safely. We coordinate pickups from neighborhoods, schools, hospitals, and nursing homes, and transport evacuees to designated shelters or out of harm’s way.

First Responder Transportation: We provide reliable transportation for police, firefighters, EMTs, and other emergency personnel to and from disaster sites. Our buses can operate on rotating shifts, ensuring that first responders are always where they’re needed most.

Hospital and Medical Facility Transfers: During emergencies, it’s crucial to move patients and medical staff between facilities efficiently. We offer non-emergency medical transportation to help hospitals manage surges in patient volume or evacuate vulnerable individuals.

Utility and Recovery Crew Shuttles: After a disaster, utility workers and recovery teams need to access damaged infrastructure. Our buses can transport these essential workers to job sites, even in challenging conditions.

Airport and Transit Hub Evacuations: If SFO, SJC, or local Caltrain stations need to be cleared during an emergency, we can quickly dispatch buses to move travelers out of the area.
